Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s said Monday that it is making the cuts to focus on more profitable locations. The move involves closing 20 stores in 15 states and cutting 1,950 jobs. Before the closures Lowe’s operated 1,725 stores. (source)

The Granite State will lose 3 stores, laying off more than 200 people. In a state with a mere 1,316,470 (source) that’s a fairly one job loss too many.
